Would you put your Blackhat projects on your Resume?

[silentwandererr]

or is it too risky?

 

[Morris M Nichols]

I am not sure if it's risky but i am definitely not going to put that i make porn websites in my resume.....

It depends on who you are going to work for.

If I was hiring another PBN expert, I'd expect to see you understood fully how to set up and manage a PBN, as an example.

It really depends upon your JD. If the employer is looking for link building specialist or something you can put that in your resume. Something like that worked for me.

 

[Gogol]

Not all. Specially if it was for example a scraped site and I send my resume for a job for the site which my site was scraped from. You risk getting blacklisted for these.

i my opinion you can any skill that makes your profile most suitable for that job requirement

Make several cv versions, some employers prefer an expert of a single skill (otherwise "master of none" rings in their heads). Other employers like taking advantage of multidisciplinary workers. Based on the job you are applying for consider if blackhat works are valid or considered a red flag.

Resume?

[breakcode]

Absolutly not, i put on it only white hat unsuccesfully projects

 

[justdantz]

Depends where You want to get a job...

 

[fatech]

Oh sorry. I collect resume instead.

 

[kolly]

Not really, could be seen as very negative in the eyes of the employer

 

[Solzyy]

Depends on the role you are applying for. Usually blackout methods entail thinking outside the box or using sophisticated ways to solve a problem. Could be seen as a positive too

How about this: The goal of your past projects is to make sure you never need to write another CV again or having to depend on someone else reading it and then making a judgement, which will affect your future income. If you are on this forum to become a better employee, great, you'll make some employer very happy, but be absolutely sure that you want it and that this is the best path for you to take.

Maybe the word resume or CV is being misinterpreted here. If you meant to ask, would you use past BHW projects as a tool to boost self-promotion, when tiring to secure a client, and you are selling to that client a BHW product, then yes, of course you would.

Well, that depends if you need a full-time job or a full-time jail.

I don't think it's a good look to present yourself as someone involved in questionable activities.

 

[Fang Yu]

I am afraid they will not understand what you're talking about.
Did your read job descriptions in digital marketing? It's a complete joke.

One can put it (blackhat projects) on one's CV, but describe it in such a way that it is greyhat. This "camouflage" ability itself is mostly quite appreciated.
